President J¢hn, Knox was in the chair and his annual address, was one of the fes.ures of the evening, his sugâ€" gestions for improvem:nts and extenâ€" sions of the usefulness and convenience of the club giving the members food for thougt. and basis for discussions.

In his outline, it was noted that lass year had been a most successful one, and that 125 members in all, had participated in the sport of golt. The finances for 1937 were alsoa satisfactory, and the club had been able to purchase a new cractor during this season. Mr. C. C. Ollivier, Chairman of che Match Committ©> for the past year, then gave his report, showing that many highly contested and keenly playâ€" ed matches had been sponsored, the winrer in each case receiving a loveâ€" ly silver cup, for his award. What can be done wi‘th an old boy of 85 who runs 26 miles and 385 yards in 4‘% hours? Nothing. This man startâ€" ed marathoning when a lad of 50, and evidently it has got into his system.

The first marathoner had a real incontive: He carried to Athens news of martial victory, and, ling all bearers of good news, he was welcome. For many years afterward, over the samz> territory, runners competed for a laurel but even then the roâ€" mance of it had faded some; it beâ€" came a contest betwzeen men not carryâ€" ing any kind of news, and all probably sorry they started long before the goal was sighted.

The Perth Amboy resident takes his baseball seriously and he is "I like ‘em," replied Bill.. ‘"I‘ve seen 2 lot of ball clubs in my time and you take it from me that Dan Howley has a good team this year. And I‘m nc saying that just because I‘m on it. It is true that w2 didn‘t win many ball games in the Southâ€" during trainâ€" ing scries, but never judge a team on what ~~it does in those games. Even the Yankees were getting knocked off in the South this spring. Howley was doing some experimenting with his young pitchers and we were more concerned about geiting into conâ€" diticn than in winning games that don‘t count.
